摘要
为实现头戴显示器(HMD)的轻小型化,设计了一种新型的半透膜阵列平板波导式HMD光学系统。利用两个互相垂直放置的半透膜阵列波导实现了目镜出瞳的扩展,使得小出瞳目镜即可满足HMD使用需求,在缩小目镜体积的同时减轻了系统重量。通过对半透膜阵列平板波导结构的理论分析和光学系统建模,讨论了系统成像质量和出瞳辐照度分布规律。该系统总重约36 g,视场为15°×20°,出瞳7 mm×12 mm,畸变小于0.13%,点斑均方根半径小于3.75 μm,波像差均方根小于0.045λ,各视场光学调制传递函数在40 lp/mm时大于0.58。结果表明,半透膜阵列平板波导装置能够有效扩展目镜出瞳,该系统能够满足HMD的使用要求。
Abstract
In order to reduce the weight and volume of the head-mounted display (HMD), a planar waveguide HMD is designed based on semi-transparent film array. Two orthogonally placed semi-transparent film arrays are used to expand the eyepiece′s exit pupil, as well as to make the HMD compact and light in weight. By analyzing the structure of planar optical waveguide, an optical system model is established. Then, imaging quality and irradiance distribution of the system is discussed. This system has a gross weight of about 36 g, a field of view (FOV) of 15°×20° and an exit pupil of 7 mm×12 mm. The distortion is less than 0.13%. The root mean square (RMS) spot diameter is less than 3.75 μm. The RMS wave aberration is less than 0.045λ. The modulation transfer function (MTF) is higher than 0.58 at the spatial frequency of 40 lp/mm across the entire FOV. The results indicate that planar waveguide of semi-transparent film array can enlarge eyepiece′s exit pupil effectively. This system satisfies the requirements of the HMD optical system.
